1. The mic picks up EVERY little sound the camera makes, The auto focus, the zoom and on top of that there is this other sound I can hear. I can hear it if I just put my ear to the camera. This sound is made no matter what im doing with the camera. Its a continuous motor like sound.
What is it?
2. Is this thing actually any good for an "amateur". I plan on using it for videos (but I wont use the audio from it, Ill use another mic for that) as well as general photo shooting when out and about.
3. Do you have any thoughts on this camera?
Cheers
